While we had previously cancelled all in-person events due to COVID-19, we have decided to peacefully assemble a protest in Hollywood, where the first ever permitted Pride Parade took place, in solidarity with the Black community. 50 years ago, Christopher Street West (CSW) took to the streets of Hollywood Boulevard to peacefully protest against police brutality and oppression. We feel that it is our moral imperative to honor the legacies of Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, who bravely led the Stonewall uprising, by standing in solidarity with the Black community against systemic racism and joining the fight for meaningful and long-lasting reform. The California Department of Public Health recommends that participants engaging in the march should wear face coverings at all times. WHEN: Sunday, June 14, 2020 at 10am PT WHERE: Hollywood Blvd. and Highland Ave. Hollywood, CA 90028
Together With Pride, LA Pride

I'll have to give it to Sylvia Rivera - that psychotic drug addict inserted herself into so many pride events and conversations, that she made herself part of history.
I saw her several times at NYC Pride about 30 years ago. She was a fucking MESS and a pain in the ass. Everyone in the audience at rallies would twitter about her being a liar and grandstander who wasn't actually there.

A BLM spokesperson issued a response and then burned down the shops and bars of the LA Pride people.

I don't see anything wrong with organizing a gay pride march insolidarity with the black community.
Proud of LA Pride of doing this

If Johnson and Rivera were so important, why did 99% of the population not know they even existed until a few years ago? JFC you'd think they were like Larry Kramer.

[quote]o honor the legacies of Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, who bravely led the Stonewall uprising,
Except if you actually, you know, listen or read Marsha's own words documented in recorded interviews, she clearly states that 1) She did not arrive at Stonewall til long after all the action happened and 2) Sylvia was passed out on drugs lying on a bench somewhere else in the village.
Fuck these MORONS trying to re-write history.
If they want to honor a Black (technically biracial) person who started Stonewall, why aren't they erecting statues to Storme DeLarverie, who many think actually threw the first punch/brick (though it's not for certain since she wasn't a media whore trying to make it all about her!)

I’ve noticed a lot of Black Trans Lives Matter postings on social media in the last 24 hours. Once again the trans movement co-opt something for themselves.

Let's face it, if the struggle for gay rights had really been left in the hands of trans women of color like Marsha and Sylvia, homosexuality would STILL be illegal.

From a trans writer and "Queer" source: Even they have to report her own words:
"Both Johnson and Rivera denied being the first to fight back against the police during the uprising. In an interview from the 1970s where Johnson recalls the events of the historic night, she confirms "the riots had already started" by the time she arrived at the bar"

Three years ago, they made Pride into a Resist protest march. This year they canceled it because of the pandemic, but now that there’s another cause that’s apparently important enough to justify the large crows, it’s suddenly back on.
Why is LA Pride so ashamed of gay people?

Learn bitch R16: (you can even hear it yourself in Marsha's own voice at link)
"Marsha: The way I winded up being at Stonewall that night, I was having a party uptown. And we were all out there and Miss Sylvia Rivera and them were over in the park having a cocktail.
I was uptown and I didn’t get downtown until about two o’clock, because when I got downtown the place was already on fire. And it was a raid already. The riots had already started. And they said the police went in there and set the place on fire. They said the police set it on fire because they originally wanted the Stonewall to close, so they had several raids. And there was this, uh, Tiffany and, oh, this other drag queen that used to work there in the coat check room and then they had all these bartenders. And the night before the Stonewall riots started, before they closed the bar, we were all there and we all had to line up against the wall and they was all searching us.

I don’t understand what that post had to do with BLM, except that it mentioned the black community. Is there a rule that BLM must be consulted before a protest or March is organized?
I’m thinking this is one of those purposely-divisive online tactics.

R25 Would you like it if "Pride" and other gay organizations were hijacked by nefarious shady entity's?
I don't think you would.

Hold up - remember when Pride parades were hijacked by BLM in 2017?
I do. And they didn't notify the Pride parade organizers.

r7's description of Sylvia Rivera is in line with what people who had encounters with her in the 90s have told me. She was a total druggie mess and a fantasist.

This is the excellent "Stonewall Uprising" documentary PBS did about ten years ago. Actual participants are interviewed. Worth watching.
